8 Ways to Getting “Unstuck”

Feeling bored, unmotivated or trapped by the people, places and circumstances of your life?

Don’t worry; there are eight ways to regenerate your interest in even the stickiest time of life. Famous figures from history like Marcus Aurelius to Albert Einstein to Helen Keller practiced one or more of these principles.

The secret lies in purposefully generating pleasure neuropeptides in your brain by involving yourself in activities you haven’t pursued seriously before. These actions boost dopamine, and when you stick with them your brain starts producing serotonin as a reward. You get two pleasure chemicals circulating and this creates a positive feedback loop. The better you feel, the more active you’ll be, and there’s no end in sight!

Your therapeutic experience at (SBC or DPM?) wlll include one or more of these activities, depending on your personal interests, resources and lifestyle.
